Abstract:China-Europe Railway Express is a major innovation in the field of international railway intermodal transport, as well as a model of implementation of the “Belt and Road” initiative and a necessary link for deepening international cooperation. It has gone through several stages, including early exploration and nurturing, regular and large-scale development, integrative construction and standardization, layout transformation, and consolidation and enhancement of the quality of the development. The construction and development of China-Europe Railway Express has brought about a new situation of international transport, explored a new path of railway reform, and opened a new chapter of opening up for inland area, which is of great significance and value for enhancing the resilience of international trade and transport system, deepening the supply-side structural reform of China’s railway industry, and helping the inland areas of the Asian-European continent to better integrate into the open global economy. It provides successful experience in combining top-level design with local exploration, carrying out multi-tiered and multi-dimensional cooperation, and adhering to the mode of innovation-driven and bottom-line thinking, etc. In the future, we should implement the new development philosophy and focus on high-quality development, balance the functions of the government and the market forces and adhere to market-oriented development, strengthen coordination and linkage to enhance the coordinated development in the region, and coordinate development and safety and adhere to the diversified development. With these steps, China-Europe Railway Express will move towards higher quality, greater benefits and more safety.
